Geographic biases and gaps in the sampling of plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Plant–pollinator interactions are essential for maintaining biodiversity and supporting food production, yet inferences drawn from network syntheses may be shaped by where interaction data are generated and which datasets are most reused. Here, we quantify the global distribution of published plant–pollinator networks, assess how publication rates vary
